I am seeing lots of conversation on Twitter for the Brother contest. I am excited to see how that one will turn out. Keep them coming.
I love the title, “The Venus and Mars of Small Business Finance Webinar for Female Business Owners”, particularly the Venus and Mars part of it.
‘Statistics for the Non-Statistician’ also drew my eye. I studied/enjoyed Statistics as a subject at college and (Business) Statistics at university. Forgotten most of it though! Was a loooong time ago.
